Russian military hospitals are unable to cope with the large influx of wounded

Russian military hospitals are no longer able to cope with the number of wounded from the war against Ukraine.

This is reported by Russian media.

Due to a shortage of treatment facilities, the military is increasingly using civilian medical institutions, which are being repurposed to meet the needs of the Russian Ministry of Defense. In a number of regions, particularly in Omsk, some hospitals and maternity wards have been closed, while military medical facilities or specialized wards have been opened.

It is also noted that in various cities across Russia, patients at civilian hospitals are facing difficulties accessing medical care due to the priority given to treating military personnel.

In Russia, doctors and miners are being left without pay en masse despite the Kremlin’s promises.

After three years of unexpected economic growth, Russia is facing a sudden slowdown—war costs, inflation, and falling oil prices have begun to weigh on an economy that until recently seemed resilient to sanctions.

Consumer lending in Russia has fallen to a six-year low.
